Kawaguchi City, Saitama – JAPAN
July 19 to 27, 2008
The SKIP CITY INTERNATIONAL D-Cinema FILM FESTIVAL carries the distinction of being one of Variety’s “50 Unmissable Film Festivals” in the world. Only 30 minutes from Tokyo, SKIP CITY draws enthusiastic, appreciative audiences and is widely recognized for championing digital filmmaking into the mainstream. A true must-attend event, the Festival provides all accepted filmmakers with travel and accommodations.
Open to all types of international digital features, including narrative, animation, and documentary, SKIP CITY films are impressively launched into the Japanese market. All official selections are privately screened for Japanese distributors, and later promoted by the Festival at TIFFCOM, the market at the Tokyo International Film Festival. A number of films have received Japanese distribution deals after screening at SKIP CITY.
Sponsored largely by SONY, the Festival grants a total of $150,000 USD in cash prizes to winning filmmakers. And, with its highly selective programs averaging 12 features per year, each selected film has a very real chance of walking away a prizewinner. Regardless of awards, all films look amazing presented via SONY 4K digital cinema projector on a massive screen, providing the best screening quality available anywhere.
